Finally a Break!

Following the Flames disappointing 3-2 SO loss to the Penguins on Thursday, reports came out that Regehr had broken his foot after blocking a shot in the first which he never returned from and would be out at least 4 weeks. This would have come at the probably the worst time ever for the Flames. We would be forced to go with these defensemen with Regehr out.

1- PHANEUF-AUCOIN
2- SARICH-ERIKSSON
3- PARDY-HALE

SCARY!
Anyways a new report came out after Regehr got his foot examined and it is only a bone bruise and some tissue damage. Regehr is now listed day-to-day but we will still have to go with those parings for at least a couple of games but that is way better than a month+. The Flames last two games have been awesome in my opinion. Way more consistent and very hard working. There are still a few things to work on but they are looking like a much better team so far this month. Phaneuf is really going to have to pick up his defensive game in the next couple to make up for Regehr and guys like Hale and recent call-up Adam Pardy even though probably wont get a ton of minutes have to be mistake free and play just solid and not worry about making the big play. Kipper has played more like himself the last two games too so he will have to continue his strong play with Regehr out.

The Flames are heading out on a 6 game road trip, starting in Chicago on Sunday.
